We're blowing our coats...and other important stuff

Hi everydog, kitty and hammie! Oh, yeah, and hoomans too! This morning, Mom has discovered that we are blowing our coats. Her first clue was the slippers she was wearing. She noticed they were covered with hair so she used a lint brush to get it all off. Then she walked from the living room to the kitchen and the hair was already back! We blow our coats twice a year...in the spring and in the fall. Mom thinks it's kind of early this year, but it's probably because we have been having some pretty warm days. She has swept the kitchen and foyer floors twice, this morning and once last night. She got enough Aire-hair to make a couple more dogs. When she brushed our hair, she got enough to make 5 or 6 more! We don't mind being brushed, but we aren't too thrilled with the fact that the Roomba is running almost constantly. We have to keep moving out of it's way or it might just suck us up! It is one EVIL machine!

The picture on the left is the back of Penny's head and my tail. See how fluffy they are? Mom has let our hairs grow for the winter. She says we need Aire-cuts right now, but thinks we will wait a couple more weeks until it gets a little warmer. We had a meeting and decided that we don't want to freeze when we go out to do our potties in the cold mornings. The picture on the right is me, Poppy thinking about attacking that bunny rabbit on the floor in front of me.

We have heard a rumor that we might be getting a new brother or sister. Our mom has made an application with Airedale rescue to get one for us. They have two that Mom and Dad are interested in. One is a male and the other is a female. We aren't particular as to which one we get as long as he or she will play with us! When Mom woke up on Thursday morning, she had no intention of getting another dog, but when she saw the ones that Airedale rescue has, she couldn't help herself! She is addicted to 'dales! She talked it over with our personal servant (Dad) and he told her to fill out the application. Woo hoo! We haven't been approved yet, but our paws are crossed. Mom and Dad were approved about 10 years ago, but ended up getting Pockets from a breeder instead. Our silly parents already have an extra dog bed and a feeding station. We hope they aren't counting their chickens before they are hatched!

Mom and dad are mixing concrete, this morning, to pour a slab by the basement door so we are on our way to help! Have a great weekend, everybody!

Aire-hugs,

Poppy & Penny & Maybe a soon to be brother or sister!
